1001 Albums Summary

Very good! Beautiful instrumentals and voice. Some songs can be very samey but overall it’s a good experience. It’s very cosy at times which is good, but I think it’s highest quality moments come when it’s not being safe and predictable: the title-track lives up to its paint-stroke evoking title with its beautifully vivid lyrics; smackwater jack is probably the biggest departure from formula in the whole album and it really sticks with you because of it. Maybe will change with more listens, but the first half of the album feels like it reveals all it has far too early, it remains too static and unmoving artistically for a good 7-8 song run
